Description
This is a square velvet cushion in a soft dusky pink, carrying a large embroidered dragonfly worked across the front in beaded gold, cream and tan threads. The insect sits on the diagonal with its wings spread wide, and the raised beadwork catches the light differently as you move around it. The cushion measures 50 x 50cm, a generous square that reads as a single feature rather than one of a crowd, and the plush pile of the velvet gives the whole thing a deep, comfortable surface.
A cushion this size earns its place at the corner of a sofa or centred on an armchair, where the embroidered motif is seen head on rather than lost against a stack. The dusky pink is warm without being loud, so it settles happily against grey, cream or deeper plum upholstery, and the gold thread of the dragonfly picks up brass lamps and warm metal accents around a living room. It works equally well propped against pillows on a bed, where the raised design gives something to look at. Group it with plainer cushions so the beadwork stays the point of interest.
The cover is velvet front and back, a pile fabric that feels soft to the hand and holds colour with real depth. It is filled with duck feathers, which give a plump, yielding cushion that you can plump back into shape, and a zip closure runs along one edge so the cover comes off the feather inner for cleaning or for swapping things around by season. The beaded embroidery is best treated gently, so keep it away from rough handling. The dragonfly is one of the Aria animal designs, so look to the wider range if you want to build a theme.

How big is the cushion?
It is a square 50 x 50cm, a generous size that lets the embroidered dragonfly read as a single feature on a sofa or bed.
